View Approval Configuration Details

This screen allows you to view the details of an existing approval configuration in read-only mode, divided into two tabs: Details and Activity Log, which shows all changes made to the configuration since it was created. This screen also allows you to activate or deactivate the configuration directly. In this article, we explain the contents of each tab.

Before You Start

• You must have the appropriate permission to access Approval Configurations.

How to Access the Screen

• From the main menu, click Attendance.
• Click Settings.
• Click Approval Configurations.
• From the Approval Configurations list, click View from the Actions Menu, or click directly on the Configuration Name in the list.
  • Both options open the same view screen in read-only mode.

Details Tab

This tab displays all the following configuration details:

• Configuration Type: Leave or Request.
• Name.
• Status: Active or Inactive — can be changed directly from this screen (see “Activating and Deactivating Configurations” below).
• Type.
• Leave (Leave Type).
• Departments.
• Branches: This field is displayed only if the Branches Plugin is activated in the account.
• Approval Type: Individual or Multi-Cycle.
• Approvers: The enabled sources (Direct Managers, Assigned Managers, Employees).
• Approval Cycle Summary: A simplified view of each level and its approvers.

Activating and Deactivating Configurations from This Tab

• To deactivate an active configuration: Click the Deactivate button, then confirm the confirmation message: “Are you sure you want to deactivate this configuration?” — After confirmation, a success message appears: “{Configuration Name} Configuration was deactivated successfully.”
• To activate an inactive configuration: Click the Activate button — the status changes to “Active” immediately without an additional confirmation message.

Activity Log Tab

Activity Log — Recorded Events

• Creation: {Creator} added the approval configuration {Name}
• Editing: {Creator} Updated Approval Cycle Configuration, with details of each modified field (for example: Changed Name from {Old} to {New})
• Activation / Deactivation: {Creator} Updated Approval Cycle Configuration  {Date/Time}

Fields whose changes are recorded in detail:

Important Notes

• Deletion logs are not displayed in the Activity Log tab because deleted configurations are not visible to users.
• No field can be edited from the View screen — editing is only available from the separate “Edit” screen.
• Changing the status (activating/deactivating) from this screen is the only available method for this action; the status cannot be changed from the Edit screen.
